has anyone visited the successor shop(s) to the old NanLaiSheng that used to be on JinBiLu (but relocated elsewhere in KM)? i am curious how it compares, if its still around, to the old days, as i remember, before the old JinBiLu was torn down. though i have spent a lot of time in latter day coffee shops in KM, i would vote for NanLaiSheng as the best in KM if if was still around on the old JinBiLu. I miss it. good coffee, bread and pastries.

For us newbs to the Kunming area... where exactly is jinbu lu?
I am interested to go check this place out...

JinBi is one of the major east-west roads that runs through near the center of the city from XiChang Rd. to Beijing Rd.
The coffee shop known as NanLaiSheng was torn down around 1998 along with everything else on JinBi Rd. which besides the bird and flower market area was one of the last larger sections of old Kunming that was still around at that time.

As I konw, there are four Nanlaisheng in Kunming,
No.96, Qingnian Rd, No. 46, Ankang Rd, No.446, Baiyun Rd.
I don't know about other three, but I have been to the Qingnian Rd. Actually, it is the most convenient, in the front of the gate of Kunming Zoo, besides a Qiaoxiangyuan, if you know where is the Cuihu(Green lake), I think it is easy to find.

and No.22 Zhengyi Rd, I think it is also easy to find, but I have never been there

well, what matters is how it compares to the original on the old jinbilu. sure it is more comfortable to park your ass on a bean bag at salvadors, but nothing feels, or tastes so good as the real deal of yunnan coffee of the nanlaisheng era

I don't know about others, but the Qingnian Rd nanlaisheng was moved from Jinbi Rd. The shopkeeper is the same one.
